Hicks: 'Queen of Versailles' star Jackie Siegel dated Donald Trump

Siegel is the wife of entrepreneur David Siegel, who was featured in "Queen of Versailles," a documentary about the couple struggling to build the largest home in America. When asked if there was any truth to the rumors she went out with Trump, she said "kind of."

"We just went out a couple times," the former Miss Florida told The Huffington Post. "Like, he invited us to Mar-a-Lago and go to his parties and things like that. He's a really great person. So much charisma. I'm so glad that we're still friends."

But the two are just in a platonic relationship now. "Kind of. We're friends ... we're still friends now."

Lucky her.

The Siegels were trying to build a 90,000-square-foot mansion, modeled after France's Palace of Versailles, which would be the largest single-family home in the United States. The documentary showed the struggles the couple encountered to finish their home, and pay for the work. David Siegel made his riches as a timeshare mogul, but the real estate crash in 2008 crushed his business.

Those poor rich people.

Since David Siegel made a fortune in real estate, it's not very surprising the couple is friends with The Donald. It was not clear whether Jackie Siegel dated Trump before or after meeting David.

The 56-year-old actress, who is apparently going to reprise her iconic Princess Leia role in the new "Star Wars" trilogy, is reportedly trying to slim down for the role.

"I'm glad they are doing a new movie because they are sending a trainer to my house so I can get in really good shape," she told the Calgary Herald. "So I'm really eating a lot of sugar in advance, as you can see. By the time I really get down to it, I will have eaten everything."

Uh ... right.

Fisher also apparently likes being part of the Disney family, since Disney bought LucasFilm last year and, with it, the rights to the "Star Wars" universe.

"I like being bought by Disney, because they never wanted to buy me before," Fisher said.

It was only a matter of time.

J-LO COMING BACK TO 'AMERICAN IDOL': Jennifer Lopez is definitely coming back to "American Idol!" ... to perform.

Citing an unnamed source, E! News reported Wednesday that the former "Idol" judge will perform on next month's season finale.

No word yet on whether she'll appear on the first or second night of the two-part finale on May 15-16.

Rumors began swirling last week not only about a J-Lo performance, but the possibility that she may be coming back as a judge, possibly replacing Mariah Carey.

"There will definitely be changes to the judging panel for next season," a source told E! News last week. "Fox thought the Nicki (Minaj)-Mariah contrast would make for ratings, but there is concern it is like nails on a chalkboard for middle-America viewers."

Good guess.

Of course, a rep for the show said, "This is just another ridiculous 'Idol' judge rumor, likely started by talks of Jennifer performing on the finale."

Who would dare say the words "ridiculous" and "American Idol" in the same sentence?

An "Idol" rep declined to comment on Lopez's upcoming performance.

LIL WAYNE HAS ANOTHER SEIZURE: Lil Wayne was hospitalized again for having a seizure, according to TMZ.

The rapper was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital late Tuesday night by his bodyguards, sources close to Wayne told the website. He was treated after suffering a single seizure. He spent the night at the hospital and was released Wednesday morning.

The 30-year-old spent a week at the hospital in March, including six days in intensive care, after suffering multiple severe seizures that reportedly nearly killed him. Wayne later said he's an epileptic and has had seizures since he was a child. He tweeted late Wednesday morning that he was doing fine.

Lil Wayne is scheduled to play the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord on Aug. 30.

JENNIFER ANISTON PUSHES BACK WEDDING BECAUSE OF BRAD PITT: Brad Pitt caused Jennifer Aniston to push back her wedding.

Well ... sort of.

According to Us Weekly, Aniston pushed back her wedding to Justin Theroux so it wouldn't have any perceived overlap with the supposed summer wedding of Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Right. Now Jolie can be her maid of honor.

"She does not want her day associated with them," an insider told the magazine. Upon learning of Pitt's plans, the 44-year-old Aniston initially considered moving her date up and getting married first, but Theroux, 41, changed her mind. "Justin got weirded out by all the rushing," the source said.

He got weirded out by all the rushing, but not the fact that he's about to marry someone who is allowing a guy she divorced eight years ago to have that much influence on what she does?

According to the insider, Aniston has put wedding planning completely on hold. "Nothing has happened on that front in a month," the source said.

Aniston hasn't exactly been sitting around repeatedly watching a DVD of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." She does finished shooting a movie and she and Theroux have been busy redecorating their $21 million Bel Air mansion, which features 8,500 square feet, four bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a swimming pool, and its own vineyard.

That's a lot of bathrooms. Someone must have bladder issues.

Taking a break could be a good thing.

"She has been cranky from this stress," an insider told Us Weekly. "Justin's never seen her like this."

Wait until he's been married for awhile.

Aniston and Theroux -- who co-starred together in the movie "Wanderlust" -- got engaged on the actor's 41st birthday last August, after more than a year of dating.

The couple's engagement came just four months after Pitt officially proposed to Jolie, with whom he has six kids. Aniston and Pitt were married from 2000 to 2005; he began a relationship with Jolie shortly after their split.
